China Wok — Restaurant in Phoenix

This is really a 2 star review, but the woman who works there is so nice and I assume it’s her family I just can’t drop her rating as they only have 6 reviews. I’ve been here 4 times now only because they are literally 1 minute from my house. The food is not good, it’s bland, watery and is carelessly made. The dried spicy chilies in my dish today still had the stems on. The containers were only half full of food. There were only two broccoli pieces in one dish. Even the fortune cookies are stale and chewy. I’ve watched the chef cook and he just doesn’t care.

He wandered over and tossed the dumplings in a wok and flipped them a few times for less than 15 seconds. Then he casually dumped them in a box and walked away. They weren’t even close to fried, not a crispy spot on them. I want them to be good but they just aren’t. I’m done...

There is plenty of free parking in front and the westbound rte 170 bus stops in front of the mini mall. For me, this place is "a diamond in the rough!" Kinda pricey though for the amount...

We have had food from this place several times. The time before last night, it already was not the same. However, we gave it another chance. To say the least - "Never Again". My husband's food was burnt, which gave the sauce a burnt flavor. I ordered Walnut Shrimp. I had to call the store to tell them to throw out their bag of Walnuts. They were inedible and completely Rancid, and the batter on the tiny shrimp was 1/4 of an inch thick. I removed it all. Walnut Shrimp just should not be served with cold Broccoli. Very very...
